Song of Solomon 7
1599 Geneva Bible
7 1 The beauty of the Church in all her members. 10 She is assured of Christ’s love towards her.
1 How beautiful are thy [a]goings with shoes, O prince’s daughter! the joints of thy thighs are like jewels: the work of the hand of a cunning workman.
2 Thy navel is as a round cup that wanteth not liquor: thy belly is as an heap of wheat compassed about with lilies.
3 [b]Thy two breasts are as two young roes that are twins.
4 Thy neck is like a tower of ivory; thine eyes are like the fish pools in Heshbon by the gate of Bath Rabbim: thy nose is as the tower of Lebanon that looketh toward Damascus.
5 Thine head upon thee is as scarlet, and the bush of thine head like purple: the king is tied [c]in the [d]rafters.
6 How fair art thou, and how pleasant art thou, O my love, in pleasures!
7 This thy stature is like a palm tree, and thy breasts like clusters.
8 I said, I will go up into the palm tree, I will take hold of her boughs: thy breasts shall now be like the clusters of the vine: and the savor of thy nose like apples,
9 And the roof of thy mouth like good wine, which goeth straight to my well-beloved, and causeth the lips of the ancient to speak.
10 [e]I am my well-beloved’s, and his desire is toward me.
11 Come my well-beloved, let us go forth into the field: let us remain in the villages.
12 Let us get up early to the vines, let us see if the [f]vine flourish, whither it hath budded the small grape, or whither the pomegranates flourish: there will I give thee my love.
13 The mandrakes have given a smell, and in our gates are all sweet things, new and old: my well-beloved, I have kept them for thee.

King James Version
7 How beautiful are thy feet with shoes, O prince's daughter! the joints of thy thighs are like jewels, the work of the hands of a cunning workman.
2 Thy navel is like a round goblet, which wanteth not liquor: thy belly is like an heap of wheat set about with lilies.
3 Thy two breasts are like two young roes that are twins.
4 Thy neck is as a tower of ivory; thine eyes like the fishpools in Heshbon, by the gate of Bathrabbim: thy nose is as the tower of Lebanon which looketh toward Damascus.
5 Thine head upon thee is like Carmel, and the hair of thine head like purple; the king is held in the galleries.
6 How fair and how pleasant art thou, O love, for delights!
7 This thy stature is like to a palm tree, and thy breasts to clusters of grapes.
8 I said, I will go up to the palm tree, I will take hold of the boughs thereof: now also thy breasts shall be as clusters of the vine, and the smell of thy nose like apples;
9 And the roof of thy mouth like the best wine for my beloved, that goeth down sweetly, causing the lips of those that are asleep to speak.
10 I am my beloved's, and his desire is toward me.
11 Come, my beloved, let us go forth into the field; let us lodge in the villages.
12 Let us get up early to the vineyards; let us see if the vine flourish, whether the tender grape appear, and the pomegranates bud forth: there will I give thee my loves.
13 The mandrakes give a smell, and at our gates are all manner of pleasant fruits, new and old, which I have laid up for thee, O my beloved.
